From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nah, it's not fully about corp talk. I also have some University use RHEL, well, I would argue, in university, some do use ubuntu because it easiness to install and maintain, welp... But selinux vs apparmor... better use selinux in EL than in Ubuntu... haha.... *most junior sysadmin fvk tup in Ubuntu when set it up... so In the end they just use... Well,, EL Clones :/
But for research, I do agree, for NLP/ML, mostly I don't see any EL Clones deployed in labs, most Prof use Ubuntu and Nvidia drivers... Scientific linux is well known then centOS stream, just they still don't budge to move.. this is hard to crack question, I never know why no EL, but I guess because ubuntu nvidia prefered driver done its best, better than CentOS/Fedora
